Monitoring - We have resolved a recent issue caused by an unexpected change with Duo authentication that impacted managed macOS computer logins across campus.

If you use a university-managed Mac, your login experience is now restored to normal operations. However, the first time you log back into your computer following this fix, you may see one or two additional Duo authentication prompts.

When signing into your managed Mac for the first time today:
1. Enter your usual account credentials at the primary macOS login screen.
2. Complete the Duo prompt(s): You may be prompted to authenticate through Duo an extra time as system permissions refresh and re-sync with your account.
3. Approve the request on your Duo mobile app, hardware token, or via your preferred MFA method as normal.
4. Select Next at the Let’s keep your account secure prompt.
5. Select Next at the Set up a sign-in method prompt.

If you continue to encounter login errors, repeated prompts to sync passwords on login, or any other issues logging into your Mac, please reach out to your campus IT Helpdesk.

Update - NTS TSS team is continuing to investigate the cause of this issues. There are no further updates at this time.

The Iru prompt to sync your passwords is safe to ignore as best that you are able while we investigate why it is being prompted.

If unable to log into your UA Mac, they try switching to Local login. To switch to local login:

1. Click the profile icon (the person inside a circle) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
2. Select Switch to Local Login.
3. Enter your University login credentials in the username and password fields that appear near the bottom center of the screen.
4. Click Sign In to log in.
If you are still unable to log in, please contact your local IT Help Desk for further assistance.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work towards a full resolution; we will make further updates at 1 hour intervals and as new information becomes available.

Identified - Microsoft is discontinuing the M365 A1 Plus license, and some users are being transitioned from the M365 A1 "Plus" license to the M365 A1 license. This results in a loss of access to the desktop version of Office 365 applications, but all users should still be able to use the web-based apps at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/apps/ (requires UA login).

This change affects Crafts & Trades staff, Adjunct/Temporary Faculty, and Emeritus Faculty members. If you're not a member of these groups and are experiencing issues with the Microsoft Office suite, please reach out to your campus's IT helpdesk!

You can find more information about the license change here: https://www.uaf.edu/nooktech/news/microsoft-365-a1-license-changes.php
As well as status reports by the license holder, UAA, here: https://status.uaa.alaska.edu/

Due to the longstanding nature of this change and resulting disruption, we will be updating this status only as new information becomes available. We are actively communicating with UAA about the situation, and appreciate your time and understanding as we navigate this unexpected transition. Thank you!

Resolved - The OIT EAS team has resolved the issue with the Banner, and confirmed the fix to be stable. Issue was resolved on Aug 10th.

Please report any continued issues with this service to your campus's IT helpdesk, and thank you again for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Aug 17, 08:53 AKDT
Monitoring - The OIT EAS team has identified the issue with the Banner and has implemented a fix, which is being monitored for effectiveness and stability.

Thank you again for your patience during the resolution of this issue! You can expect further updates at the end of the business day 5:00PM or as new information becomes available.

Investigating - We have received reports that Banner is currently experiencing issues. The OIT EAS team is currently investigating, and we will be making updates at 1-hour intervals.

A functioning workaround has been identified: open a private or incognito browser window to access Banner. If the site is still slow/not loading, close and open another new private or incognito window; it may take a few attempts, but once a reliable connection is made, you can continue to use that session until the issue is resolved!

Thank you for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Building coordinators may be aware of alternative access methods and routes for particular rooms, but there is no widespread workaround at this time.

Thank you for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Scheduled - Modern Campus CMS editing environment will be unavailable Monday, August 3 through Friday, August 7 while Modern Campus performs the backend migration from our self-hosted infrastructure to their managed cloud (SaaS) environment. Editing access is suspended for the duration of the migration to prevent content or configuration conflicts during data transfer and system cutover.

This change affects the CMS editing environment only (edit.alaska.edu). Authentication, content editing, and publishing functions will be disabled for all users during the migration window. Published production websites are unaffected and will remain live and fully accessible to end users, as they are served independently of the editing environment.

Editing access is expected to resume the week of August 10.
